Except that this movie title refers to my middle name it also refers to my list of original intriguing original cinema that shows ya Dark, funky situations you couldn’t even speculate about in your free time, even those experienced with Duke Raoul’s sayings couldn’t…

“A drug person can learn to handle such things as seeing their dead grandmother crawling up their leg with a knife in her teeth. But no one should be asked to deal with this trip.”

While I am reviewing this after a TV watch, and feeling the shame I missed it on the big screen I’d have to say that my experience with the orange box we call TP, the British call Tele and Ethiopians refer to as “Hakuna Matata” (forgive my ignorance and lack of Amarish language understanding) was very good indeed, thank you kindly.

Sexy beast is one of those films that I could say is lacking more in the directing and production side than in the writing’n’storytelling department , and don’t get me wrong this film was masterfully directed with a fresh style great actors and all the goodies needed but more than that it was also very well written as of what I seen transferred on the film, an original criminal and human psychology story of sadism, true love, complications and what not all under one roof.

Although the movie begins or might have the feel somewhere in between of a typical Heist gangster movies of a retired Criminal (what I’de be when reach the age of 13) it got the right appeal and you get all swists and twists when story develops.

With a starring of some diverse and honored actors (Ben Kingsley) and British old timers will have to say that at moments Kingsley’s Fucked up Character feels fake, fake it’s not my friends ,I knew some twice more fucked up lads than Don Logan(Kingsley) I used to play Chess n’ Run-For-Yer-Life with.

I truly recommend this refreshing piece of cinematography for all of you who want to see an entertaining Heist flick with swists and cool style, And to these keen of catching an emotional ride.
